|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|The<br>financial<br>year<br>2023<br>was<br>again<br>challenging due to the lingering effects of the<br>COVID-19 pandemic, which had a negative<br>impact on fundraising activities in the UK and<br>operations at the Victory Child Care Project's<br>Children's Home in Uganda.<br>Despite these challenges, we are pleased<br>to report that we were able to continue<br>supporting orphans, vulnerable children,<br>and communities in Uganda thanks to the<br>generosity of our donors. Our income for<br>the year increased by £908, although rising<br>costs in Uganda and the UK meant that our<br>expenditure was also higher than in the<br>previous year.<br>Here is some more information about<br>specific projects.<br>**VICTORY CHILD CARE PROJECT – TY**<br>**CARIAD, NAMUGONGO, KAMPALA,**<br>**UGANDA (VCCP)**<br><br>A total of £65,605 was spent on<br>overseas work in Uganda during the<br>financial year, all of which was sent<br>to VCCP.<br><br>Victory Child Care Project has<br>continued to work closely with the<br>Ugandan Police and the Ugandan<br>Government to provide a safe haven<br>for children who have been<br>abandoned, lost, or trafficked. These<br>children come to stay at the<br>Children's Home while social<br>workers and police search for<br>relatives.<br>At the start of the financial year,<br>there were 35 children living at the<br>Children's Home. During the year,<br>13 children were admitted for care;<br>11 children were resettled with<br>family members, of whom 9 children<br>require ongoing financial support for<br>medical bills and school fees, and 3<br>children require no further financial<br>support. The financial year ended|





with 37 children living at the Children's Home. The project is committed to providing a safe and loving home for all children in its care. It works tirelessly to trace and re-unite children with their families, and to provide ongoing support to those who cannot be reunified.  **Education Costs** we provide education support for children living at the Children's Home, children who have been resettled or fostered, and children in the local community. The school year in Uganda runs from February to November, so our financial year covers Terms 2 and 3 of one academic year, and Term 1 of the next academic year. In the 2022 academic year, we supported 65 children with their education by paying school fees and contributions towards their school requirements as and when needed. At the end of the 2022 academic year, a number of children's support ended:  4 children supported under our Community Education Support Project who graduated from Primary 7 (support is provided up to the end of Primary School).  3 children who graduated with A Levels.  1 who graduated from University. In the 2023 academic year, many of the children have been moved from private schools to government schools to reduce the cost of their education to the charity. The social work team visited many government schools to find the right ones for the children, ensuring that the quality of education was still being maintained, but at a lower cost. This 



|||move is expected to save the charity<br>approximately £10,000 over the<br>academic year.<br>In 2023, we are supporting the<br>education of 67 children:<br><br>12 are being home-schooled at<br>the Children's Home.<br><br>15 children from the Home are<br>also supported in government<br>schools.<br><br>12 children from the local<br>community are being supported.<br><br>28 children who have been<br>resettled or fostered from the<br>Home.<br>Of these children:<br><br>12 are being home-schooled.<br><br>34 are in Primary education.<br><br>14 are in Secondary education.<br><br>7 are in Vocational colleges.<br>The total cost of education (school<br>fees, requirements, and scholastic<br>materials for the children from the<br>Home and the local community<br>children) was £15,915 this financial<br>year, up £3,998 from last year.<br>We are committed to providing all<br>children in our care with access to<br>quality education, regardless of their<br>background. We believe that<br>education is the key to a better<br>future for these children, and we are<br>grateful for the support of our donors<br>who make this possible.<br><br>**Education Resettlement Support**<br>A total of £8,349 was raised to<br>support children resettled in families,<br>either with family members or with<br>foster families. £8,592 was spent on<br>supporting these children in family<br>settings<br>with<br>costs<br>such<br>as<br>education, food support and health<br>costs.|

|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|At the end of the financial year, there are UK<br>reserves of £462 in restricted funds, and<br>£519 in unrestricted funds.<br>This is substantially lower than the previous<br>financial year.|

|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|At the end of the financial year, we were in<br>a position where we barely enough between<br>the UK bank accounts and the funds held in<br>Uganda to last for 1 month at a time when<br>school fees were not due.|

|The charity’s principal<br>sources of funds (including<br>any fundraising)|Para 1.47|Finances have been raised mainly through<br>word of mouth and through existing<br>contacts.<br>Gift Aid totalling £8,413 was received in the<br>financial year, £1,097 less than the previous<br>year (down 12%).<br>All funds spent during the financial year<br>have been in support of the key objectives<br>of the charity.|

|Investment policy and<br>objectives including any<br>social investment policy<br>adopted|Para 1.46|Tŷ Cariad Africa does not have any<br>investments,<br>and<br>therefore,<br>has<br>no<br>investment policy.|
|A description of the principal<br>risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|Tŷ Cariad Africa needs to strengthen its<br>regular giving and increase its one-off<br>donations in order to continue supporting<br>the work of the Victory Child Care Project<br>(VCCP).<br>We have made changes to the education<br>provided for the children, moving them from<br>private schools to government schools. This<br>is expected to save us approximately<br>£10,000 over the next academic year.<br>However, this may not be enough to ensure|





|||that we can continue to support VCCP to the<br>same level as we have done previously.<br>Since 2018-19, we have made the difficult<br>decision to reduce our financial support for<br>our partners other than the Victory Child<br>Care Project (VCCP). This was done in<br>order to protect our funding for VCCP, which<br>is our main project and the one that we<br>believe has the greatest impact on the lives<br>of orphans and vulnerable children in sub-<br>Saharan Africa.<br>No financial support was given to other<br>partners during the 2022-2023 financial<br>year. We continue to monitor the situation<br>and explore ways to increase our support for<br>other partners in the future.<br>The amount of money required by Tŷ Cariad<br>Africa to support VCCP depends on the<br>exchange<br>rate<br>between<br>sterling<br>and<br>Ugandan shillings. The exchange rate has<br>been stable for a number of years, and we<br>monitor it regularly.<br>As always, we will monitor all relevant<br>situations and respond swiftly with due<br>diligence to do as much as possible to limit<br>and reduce risks as they arise.<br>We will also closely monitor and explore any<br>ways in which we can increase donations<br>and decrease costs over the coming years.<br>A review will also be held in the next<br>financial year to look at how best we can<br>provide sustainable support for VCCP in the<br>years to come.|
